Don't think of the booking of West as an "up yours"; the guy did have the number one CD in the country last week. He won a Grammy earlier this year. Only in recent weeks has he revealed to the hip-hop illiterate public what an idiot he is, and in doing so to the detriment of Bush, hasn't made any significant enemies in showbiz. After all, NBC is putting him on the air live again.

As stupid as it was, I don't think West's disjointed rant was more offensive than Sinead O'Connor's defining moment of presenting a photo of Pope John Paul II to the SNL cameras and ripping it to shreds.

I disagree... Kanye West made comments that could have ignited racial tension here and cause further divides in race relation s his comments were irresponsible and dangerous...

While I disagree with what Skinhead O'conner did I do not think it rises to the same level as making inflammatory comments on race, while the MSM is stoke the fire as well.

I honestly think that Both the MSM and Kanye West.. Separately, were trying to achieve agitation in hopes that there would be protesting and rioting.

It doesn't rise to the level of what Sinead O'Connor had done. What Kanye West, and the MSM were and are hoping to achieve are the reversal of the 41 years of progress in racial equality by driving a wedge into the racial divide.

If people think that Kayne West's words will turn back race relations, then I think some don't believe in this country too much. Also, I've never seen conservatives suck up all the MSM's garbage like this before. Since when did conservatives actually take what hollyweird says seriously?
